Two years after Squaresoft brought the original Parasite Eve to North American audiences, the RPG giant has struck yet once again with its sequel, Parasite Eve II. The title shipped yesterday, and most video game retailers should receive their shipments sometime later today, if they haven't already.

Parasite Eve II follows the lovely heroine Aya Brea as she traverses Los Angeles while fighting against a new breed of mitochondria. Parasite Eve II has been rated "M" (Mature) by the ESRB (Entertainment Software Ratings Board) and has a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of $39.99.
